Reviews
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Snappy, nasty, deftly acted and perhaps the fastest paced film ever directed by a 78-year-old, this adaptation of Yasmina Reza's award-winning play God of Carnage fully delivers the laughs and savagery of the stage piece.

|
Boxoffice Magazine -
Relatively light-hearted for a Polanski film (no one dies), Carnage is fun verbal warfare cleanly filmed.
|
|
Slant Magazine -
One doesn't have to look too closely at Carnage's final shot to marvel at the way Polanski refuses to haughtily indict his audience in the pettiness of his characters' behavior.
|
|
New York Post -
Fast, furious and often funny. But no blood is truly shed (except literally in a playground fight during the opening credits).
|
|
IndieWire -
Polanski struggles to make the material more cinematic, toying with clever mise-en-scene to showcase the mounting tensions. However, Carnage repeatedly suffers from an internal tension between the possibilities of two media at odds with each other.
